Hayley Paige – HP6450
If we said cut-out wedding dress to you there's a good chance horrifying thoughts of My Big Fat Gypsy Wedding would spring to mind. But fear not, the type of dresses we're referring to in today's look book post are oh-so-elegant designs that reveal just the right amount of flesh and are set to be one of the biggest bridal trends on the 2015 catwalks.
We've witnessed cut-out detailing on in the fashion world over the past year or so, and while some designs brought out the inner-Jordan (cue the revealing bodycon) others demonstrate how baring just a little skin can be both sexy & sophisticated.
In bridal wear designers are using cut-out detailing in numerous different ways to create dresses with graceful peek-a-boo charm. This means brides can choose which part of their figure they wish to flaunt – whether it be their chest, shoulders or midriff.
Hayley Paige – HP6513
Dresses with keyhole detailing in the back have been popular for a while now though designers appear to be getting bolder with their creations by cutting away more fabric than before. Some have also chosen to lower the keyhole from the shoulder blade area down to the lower back, which is considered a more flirtatious area of the body to reveal. Braver still, designers such as Hayley Paige offer gowns that border on being completely backless. Pretty detailing in floral corsages and intricate embellishing ensure that such dresses remain tasteful rather than tarty.
Keyhole detailing has also crept around to the front of some dress designs to reveal a little of the chest area, or even a glimpse of cleavage. These designs suit small framed brides beautifully but perhaps larger-busted ladies should give them a swerve so not to shock their vicar.
Claire Pettibone – Adagio
Elsewhere designers are using cut-out detailing by getting creative with straps for a high fashion look. Again, Hayley Paige offers some head-turning examples within her collections – HP6450 and HP6513 being standout designs.
Hayley Paige – HP6463
For body confident brides there are some incredibly striking gowns with cut out detailing in the bodice of the dress which expose areas of the waist, hips and stomach. Reem Acra and Badgley Mischka are particularly talented at producing such dresses.
The level of exposure varies from small slits or triangles in the side of the dress, which can help accentuate a bride's curves, to fuller areas of the torso being revealed, which might require a fair few pre-wedding-day planks to pull off.
Claire Pettibone – Rachel
If you like the idea of flashing a your midriff but don't want to strip back to the bare skin, there are designs that use pretty sheer fabrics to create an illusion cut away for that extra bit of coverage. Those that would prefer to keep the cut-out detailing at the top of the dress can also take advantage of effective illusion designs adorned with pretty embellishing for that extra wow factor.
Read on for more gowns in our Gallery…
October 14th, 2014 | Rachel Parry
Heart's Desire by Claire Pettibone
A bride entering her wedding venue is such an iconic moment and there is often one aim in mind – to impress on the aisle.
A beautiful dress is of course part of the essential ingredients required to provoke a positive reaction for the big first reveal. The hope is to take guests' breath away (as well as the groom's) during the grand entrance and to hold their gaze.
A dress with stunning back detailing is an effective way to achieve this and gives brides two bites at the 'look at me' cherry – a double reveal, if you will.
Iris by Claire Pettibone
Many designers are advocates of impressive back detailing which encourages brides to save the best part of the dress until that last moment as they make their way down the aisle. Whether they choose elegant embroidery, flamboyant corsages or a cute key hole cut-out, the dress is bound to impress.
Claire Pettibone is one designer who is particularly well-known for featuring stand-out back detailing in her collections. Many dresses within Pettibone's enchanting Still Life collection are stunningly simple on the approach but the back demands a double take. Alchemy, Iris and Sonata all boast beautiful sheer backs revealing a glimpse of the bride's skin but in an 'oh so elegant' kind of way.
For something a little more striking there is a namesake of mine as well as the highly romantic Heart's Desire. Rachel features a jeweled keyhole back complete with large black corsages while Heart's Desire has incredible embroidery detailing on its second reveal.
Rachel by Claire Pettibone
Both Maggie Sottero and Justin Alexander also have some seriously stunning gowns with detailed backs in their collections. Sottero's Melanie, Francesca and Savannah Marie each feature wonderful low illusion backs adorned with floral designs and sparkling crystals. Alexander's 8596, 8689 and 8780 are equally stunning illusion back options for graceful brides.
For those wanting to flash a little flesh Sottero's Indiana has both illusion and cut-out detailing while her Brandy backless design, framed by a bead embroidered trim with Swarovski crystals, will also attract attention. Alexander offers an elegant backless creation in his 8764 dress.
Sonata by Claire Pettibone
But if it's full on cut-away back with eye-catching detailing you've been dreaming of, I urge you to take a look at Enzoani's latest collection. The designs are striking and sophisticated with the right amount of sexiness thrown in for a killer combination. Jamie and Joanna are beautifully bold choices for brides that dare to bare but the absolute show stopper has to be Jasmine. For me this dress has it all; a simple silhouette with a mesmorising lace adorned sheer caped overlay and draped jeweled detailing in the back. I could totally picture Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine to tie the knot in this dress and I'm sure it will mean the dog days of dress shopping are over for many other fashion forward brides-to-be.
August 27th, 2014 | Julia Braime
We recently featured Ms Balbier's new Iscoyd Park bridal collection for 2015 on these very pages, and today I'm proud to hear all about the inspirations behind my wonderful friend's beautiful designs. So Brides Up North, will you be a Balbier bride? You lucky, lucky things.
Click here to view the extended collection.
Charlotte says: A Charlotte Balbier bride is confident and daring in both her wedding dress style and every day fashion choices. My brides certainly have their own sense of individuality. Whether you're a relaxed boho bride whose bouquet choice is wild hand picked rural flowers or a city fashion forward bride who keeps it minimalist and chic. Some brides like a theme and some like to keep it eclectic, it's a personal style and choice and both are gorgeous.
What were your inspirations for this collection?
The Iscoyd Park Collection is very close to my heart as I designed the collection based on my wedding day to Teddy. My wedding day took place at a venue called Iscoyd Park in North Wales last December. 'The Iscoyd Park' collection is made up of over twenty new gorgeous gowns in an array of styles to suit the modern day bride, their wedding and style. The new collection includes two dresses I actually wore on the big day called 'The Charlotte' and 'Iscoyd Park.' I am flattered we've had such a positive response to brides wearing the same dress as I did on my big day! The 'Iscoyd Park' collection was designed with love, close to my dear heart.
What shapes, fabrics and embellishments were chosen for the collection and why?
The Charlotte Balbier collection has always been fashion inspired. Gowns that are forward thinking for the new generation bride. My signature style and look is using soft French laces. Charlotte Balbier is utterly feminine in charm and grace. My gowns are inherently traditional but with that added extra twist of fashion for a modern gown, bride and wedding day. The collection presents classical elegance and timeless gowns that never go out of fashion in array of styles, silhouettes, fabrics and a soft gold, pink and ivory colour pallette.
What sizes are your gowns available in?
Our sizing is from 0 to any size. Brides can choose the sizing they need and our stockist's usually amend the dresses to fit the bride to perfection.
What does 2014/ 2015 hold for your label? What are you excited about?
Charlotte Balbier has been around for more than 10 years now and we've built a great brand. I am now embarking on a new chapter and looking forward to another 10 years, staying at the forefront of British bridal and looking to also take the Balbier brand International. Last year I won the Wedding Ideas Magazine's Bridal Designer Awards and I've just been nominated for Perfect Wedding's Best Bridal Designer. Winning Awards is a great achievement and honour to be recognized in the industry. Brides who'd love Charlotte Balbier to win can vote here.
What are your "best things" in life?
I am a very lucky lady because the best things in life surround me all the time! I'm constantly surrounded by lovely Charlotte Balbier bridal dresses and of course everything else in the bridal industry. I love shoes especially Jimmy Choo's, Aruna Seth and Freya Rose. I love Clarins facials and enjoy one once a month religiously! I love my dog Buster and my dear husband Teddy!

This shoot, sent to me by Shelly of Toast, is a mash up of bauble bling, giant windmills, twinkles, vintage bunting and stunning dresses. By 'eck it works.
Be inspired!
The shoot was organised by Vicky at Sugarplum Creations to showcase her new 2012 collection 'Vintage Glamour'.
Vicky says: Last year was all about the Sparkly Crystal Bride but this year is all about the chunky Vintage Glamour look. Each piece is handmade from vintage brooches and jewellery broken down into new and exciting things; such as tiaras, necklaces and bracelets. I knew this would work with Ian Stuart's Killer Queen Collection so I quickly got in touch with the girls to organise the shoot!
I really wanted to convey the elegance and creativity of everyone involved. Being able to work with Ian Stuart, Cymbeline Paris and Jenny Packham all in one day was an honour and I wanted to make pieces to compliment every aspect of the different designers.
Shelly says: Vicky got in touch with me to shoot her new collection along with a selection of beautiful dresses from Hayley at The Bridal Collection in Harrogate. I don't normally do straight up shoots – I usually like to do something a little bit more rock n roll, but the chance to shoot Ian Stuart frocks was too good to miss. I invited Rachel at Simply Vintage Events to provide us with a beautiful eclectic vintage backdrop to go with our Jenny Packham and Cymbeline Paris dresses, whilst I created the giant pinwheels which were real talking points and the paper flower backdrop. Rachel also provided the enormous Christmas baubles.
The amazing flowers including the frilly tulips in the birdcages and the set with the candles and orchids, were created by the genius Fiona at Firenza Floral Design – her talent knows no end.
Hair and make-up was by the lovely Emma at Make Me Up by Mac and of course the backdrop was the stunningly beautiful The Mansion in Leeds – we all love that staircase (although I must have gone up and down it a million times on the day!).
Since there were so many beautiful dresses to shoot, I invited my good pal Paul Joseph Photography over to help me shoot it all. And even our styles are slightly different, we still ended up getting the odd shot which are very similar! Thanks go to everyone who helped the shoot run smoothly.

Finding the Help You Need
It's hard enough to admit to ourselves when something isn't going right in our love life, let alone reveal our personal issues to a complete stranger. Maybe you're feeling stuck in a dating rut or a dead end relationship. You might be fed up with trying to find ultimate happiness by hunting for that elusive significant other. Or you could be confused about what's going on in your current relationship.
Dealing with Long Stretches of Celibacy
Does life really come down to wanting what we don't have? If we're single, do we see couples and think, "Why can't I be with someone who loves me like that?" If in a relationship, do we see single people and think, "Will I ever enjoy that kind of freedom and independence again?" If we have chosen to remain celibate until we are ready for a relationship; or the right one just hasn't come along, how do we deal with loneliness and make healthy choices?

I'm having some trouble figuring out how to make a JButton prompt the user to save the contents in a JTextArea before closing the program. So far, I have some code for the close operation for my button, but even that doesn't seem to work... nothing happens when I click it:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if(event.getSource() == this.Quit)
the rest are more else/if/try statements for other buttons.
I set my class to extend JFrame and implement ActionListener, so my entire program is in one class... probably not a very neat way to code, but I'm finding it easier to stick everything here for now before I distribute some functions into other classes.
Basically, nothing happens, and I don't know how to add the save prompt along with closing it afterwards. Any help would be great!

Texas coach Mack Brown wants his team to get tough
Mack even trotted out a self-critique that would make any football coach cringe. Texas became "softer."
Of course, that's been a theory in Longhorn Land for years. That the UT football culture fosters a softness. That the Longhorns have an entitlement attitude.
I don't know if I buy it; I don't know if I buy the current lack-of-toughness claim. But Mack is stressing it and selling it to his team.
"That's the identity we want to have," said UT guard Mason Walters. "The physical play at times, we could be better at."
OK. Maybe. Can't really tell it from the games we pay close attention to in Oklahoma. Neither OSU nor OU pushed around the Longhorns on the line of scrimmage last autumn, though the Cowboys won 38-26 and the Sooners 55-17. Both OSU and OU just had better ballhandlers, who made fewer mistakes.
But even the Texas defense, which last season stood tall despite little help from the offense, is talking toughness.
Cornerback Carrington Byndom said the 'Horns need to "physically beat people down. It all comes down to becoming mentally and physically tougher."
Now that, I'll buy. In the last two years, Texas has lost to programs that clearly have inferior athletes: Iowa State, Kansas State twice, Baylor twice.
So sure, that's a toughness problem. And the toughness problem might be a cultural problem. Perhaps emitting from the head coach.
The first question of the Mack press conference, I posed. To the cheerleaders.
"Who do you guys think should be the Texas quarterback?"
And just like years ago, when during another period of Texas softness Mack interceded and answered a tough question for quarterback Chris Simms, Mack didn't let the cheerleaders respond.
"They would want the worst one," Mack said.
Like I said, you can't make this stuff up.

Hmm...I've been looking to get a new PRS 408 to add to my collection. Already have 2 CU24's. I have to say I'm not sure how I feel about the new rosewood/ebony headstocks.
They look good with some colors like the Blood Orange and Greens, but with other more classic colors they seem a bit drab. I wonder if the wood veneer headstocks are permanent.
Does anyone else have the same thoughts. I kinda prefer the old ones better and have a veneer as an option.

ClickZ quizzes McIsaac on the company's in-stream video ad network.
With Apple and Google's recent aggressive moves in the video space, all eyes are on digital moving pictures. Though it doesn't have a consumer brand name, video ad management company Lightningcast is making a mark in this arena. It launched its InStream network in November, becoming the first company to manage a large amount of pre-roll and other in-stream ad inventory across multiple sites on the fly.
The number of publisher sign-ups grew quickly to about 50, and last week Lightningcast hired online and cable veteran Bill Jennings to lead it as chief revenue officer. Jennings oversaw Eastern sales for pioneering online ad network Flycast before taking over new media and business development for A&E.
Last week, ClickZ Features called CEO Tom MacIsaac to discuss the workings of the InStream network, how advertisers are responding to it, and whether he's intimidated by the massive reach of online video's newest titans: Google and Apple.
Q.Why is an in-stream video ad network a good idea?
A. There's a large demand for high-quality video inventory. Right now there's a relatively short list of places where advertisers can go to get it. That list is the portals and the networks' sites.
The rumor is there's a shortage of high-quality video inventory for brand advertisers. The truth is there's a shortage of high-quality managed inventory. There is high-quality inventory out there. It's just very fragmented.
We're creating a single place where advertisers can go and buy high-quality video inventory. It's assembled from a variety of sites, and we've organized them in a way that allows advertisers to buy them in ways that map to their plan.
The reason we in particular can offer something others can't is because of the Lightningcast business. We have the [ad serving technology] platform used by many of the top-tier [video publishers]. We've made that the backbone of a video ad network. We've taken all this inventory and we've standardized it on our platform so it can be bought efficiently and the advertiser can log into our system and access reporting in real time.
Q. You just hired A&E's head of new media and business development to run the network. What's Bill Jennings going to be able to do for you?
A. We needed somebody who had a very strong perspective on what was going on in new media. Bill, on behalf of a major cable network group, has been working on [the question], how does television adapt to an environment where digital media begins to compete with traditional television dollars?
He has very strong long-standing relationships with agencies. He has a lot of credibility with both the traditional side, as well as the interactive side. Before A&E he was the director of the Eastern region at Flycast, so he's worked on an online ad network in the past.
Q. What's the ratio of :15s to :30s you're seeing?
A. We're still seeing the majority of campaigns coming at 30 seconds. Frankly, I'd like to see more :15's. I'd like to see more creative that is created for broadband video, too, versus for television. We're seeing some, but really still very little. And in some cases, made for the Web is really just re-edited television stuff.
Q. How much saleable inventory do you have and what's the advertiser interest?
A. We have an enormous amount of advertiser interest. We launched in November, with five or six major brand advertisers. And we have about a hundred million streams a month of inventory. We have about 50 different sites. Much of it is sites that came to us when they heard of the launch of InStream.
Our sell-throughs are pretty good. I won't give you an exact number, but it's been pretty strong. We've been cautious out of the gate to make sure we're executing properly.
Q. What's upcoming for you?
A. In the mix is mobile -- both wireless phones and portable devices -- as well as cable VOD. Those are both areas that Lightningcast is very active in.
Q. Given the rapid pace of change in the online video space, are you frightened you might have the rug pulled out from under you?
A. Our vision, and how we've architected our platform is to be technology agnostic. At our core, we have a publishing and ad platform for IP video. We build enabling technologies.
Q. Both Apple and Google seem well-positioned to capitalize on ad-supported video, once the glow fades on paid video content. Are you going to compete with those guys?
A. Google either builds or buys. They don't seem to be big on partners. Many others will look to someone like us to help them.
Q. Maybe the "buy" part of "build or buy" could include you.
A.Lightningcast has not escaped interest from the big guys. But I've learned that you build for the long term.

Store Urevatn is a lake in the municipality of Bykle in Aust-Agder county, Norway. The water leaving this lake high up in the Setesdalsheiene mountains has a dam on it which leads to a canal that brings the out-flowing water to the nearby Vatndalsvatnet lake.[1]
The lake has large populations of brook trout and brown trout, which makes the lake popular with fishermen.

Isagawa is only the second player in Oregon women's golf history to be chosen as an All-American. Paula Patterson was First Team All-American in 1997 becoming the first Duck named All-American.
On the course, Isagawa had seven top 10 finishes in 10 events this season, including second-place finishes at the Ihlanfeldt Finale and the Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate.
Out of 27 rounds, the freshman was the lowest scorer 18 times and was the top finisher in nine out of 10 tournaments. Isagawa tied the school record for the lowest round and set a tournament record at the 2012 Allstate Sugar Bowl Intercollegiate with a seven-under par 65.

Abortion opponents, advocates rally
Published: Monday, January 27, 1992 at 3:15 a.m.

GREENVILLE - Abortion opponents and abortion-rights advocates rallied near each other in Greenville without incident, save a few shouting matches.
The anti-abortion group Concerned Christians of Greenville County held its ninth annual "memorial service, " Saturday beginning at a local church and proceeding by motorcade to the Greenville Women's Clinic. There, about 40 people attended a roadside service complete with baby- sized coffin and a rendition of "Amazing Grace." "I think we will see the day very soon when this thing will be turned back to the states to decide," said Betty Walsh, a longtime anti-abortion leader in Greenville. About two dozen pro-choice demonstrators showed up to counter the anti-abortion activists. They waved signs and chanted "pro-choice" slogans. GROUP

Apple Inc.'s decision to start selling its new phones in China on the same day as its other stores globally has had its first casualty: Hong Kong's gray market for iPhones.

Mainland Chinese customers have traditionally been the main source of demand for iPhones in Hong Kong as the new devices were always available in this low tax city first. People often paid more than $1,000 in Hong Kong's gray-market for an iPhone 5 that officially cost $700.
"But the good old days have gone. The demand for a gray market iPhone 5S is expected to drop significantly as Chinese carriers have accepted pre-orders for the new iPhone on their official online store at launch," said Wai Cheuk, an owner of a handset store in Mongkok, a Hong Kong neighborhood well known for its gray market for unlocked iPhones and other electronic devices.
Chinese carriers China Telecom Ltd. and China Unicom (Hong Kong) Ltd. will start selling the new iPhone 5S and iPhone 5C on Friday.
In China, the world's largest mobile market by subscribers, the starting price for an unsubsidized iPhone 5S is 5,288 yuan ($864) while for an iPhone 5C it's 4,488 yuan ($733). However, retail prices for the two new iPhones will be lower in Hong Kong due to lower taxes. An unsubsidized iPhone 5S in Hong Kong will start at HK$5,588 ($721) while an iPhone 5C will start at HK$4688 ($604).
Mr. Cheuk, who runs a handset store inside a bustling electronics mall in Mongkok called Sincere Podium, said some Chinese customers may still buy a new iPhone in Hong Kong because of the price difference, but the profit margin for a gray market iPhone 5S is likely to be lower than for its predecessors.

It was a move suited for the NBA's most experienced players, those who have been around the league long enough to sustain an unwavering sense of poise in the most urgent moments.
As Rajon Rondo elevated, he blindsided LeBron James and dished a behind-the-back pass to Tony Allen mid-air, pulling off the jaw-dropping move with a quiet veteran calm. Rondo looked like he had been dominating the court for years. The reality is, though, it was just three seasons ago that he was looking to establish himself on the floor.
It has only been four years since the Boston Celtics made a trade with the Phoenix Suns to land a 20-year-old point guard from Kentucky with he 21st pick in the 2006 NBA draft. While the Celtics personnel saw talent, critics saw flaws. His lack of offense was ripped apart and his attitude was questioned. The early consensus on Rondo's game was more problematic than promising.
"First [time I saw Rondo] was on film and I said, 'Jesus guys, this guy can't shoot.' I was like, 'He's going to be terrible.' I did," Doc Rivers recalled to WEEI.com. "You saw the instincts, but just his shot being where it was at, I was thinking, 'Wow, there's no chance.'
"But then you could see when he came into the gym, you saw him personally and you said, 'This kid's different. He has a chance,' because his basketball IQ was so high as a young player. He's stubborn as hell, but you have to be a little stubborn if you're smart. Then I thought there was a chance. Then we started working with him and you could see he was willing to work, I thought he had a chance to be really good."
For those who played with Rondo on the 2006-07 Celtics squad, his remarkable performance in the 2010 postseason is not surprising. They saw early on that the rookie had the potential to play up to star level.
There are three attributes mentioned repeatedly among the teammates who offered their first impressions of Rondo -- ball handling, quickness, and intelligence. They were instinctive to Rondo, and even though he had a lot to learn about NBA basketball, these natural abilities set him apart early on.
"When I first saw him I knew he was very athletic, a great passer, very high IQ," said Kendrick Perkins.
Sebastian Telfair added, "I remember him having these long arms. I was like, 'Man, he's got the longest arms I've ever seen.' He has the ability to pick up the ball 94 feet with those long arms, being so fast and being so quick. It was one of the things that I was like, 'He can dominate in this league with those qualities.' "
Rondo began his rookie year as the backup point guard to Telfair. He suited up with the second squad during practice drills, where it was his job to challenge the starters' defense. It was during that time that Brian Scalabrine first recognized his potential.
"I thought he was special," Scalabrine said. "One drill that we used, Doc used him in a pick-and-roll drill, as in our starters need to stop him. … Literally, he could do what he wanted. He pretty much was scoring on three of our guys, or making the right play, or dumping it off, or getting to the basket. This is a pick-and-roll league, and for a player to be that good at the pick-and-roll is just amazing for us to get him where we got him."
Offense in practice drills did not translate to the court, however. Rondo was always a defensive-minded player and he struggled at the basket, shooting 41.8 percent from the field and averaging 6.4 points per game. Opponents purposely left Rondo open, inviting him to shoot while rotating toward his teammates, including Celtics top scorers Paul Pierce and Al Jefferson. He made less than 200 field goals the entire season.
But Rondo faced a bigger challenge than hitting his shot. While Rivers believed Rondo was affected by his scoring struggles, there was a larger issue for someone who is tasked with being the floor leader. One teammate recalled Rivers, a former point guard himself, and Rondo did not always see eye-to-eye on running the floor, as the rookie often tried to assert his own opinion.
"I thought the shooting part of it was big for him, and then I thought just listening and trusting," Rivers said. "The first 25 games he didn't play much because I don't know if he didn't trust us, didn't trust his stuff. And then once he let us in, I thought that allowed him to move forward."
Rondo started his first NBA game on Feb. 2, 2007. He recorded 23 points, six rebounds and six assists in a commanding win over the Los Angeles Clippers. He started the following three games and eventually got the nod in 21 of the final 22 regular-season games.
Rondo averaged 10.6 points, 5.4 rebounds, 5.8 assists, and 2.4 steals in 36 minutes over 25 games as a starter. In contrast, he averaged 4.5 points, 3.0 rebounds, 2.9 assists, and 1.3 steals in 18 minutes during 53 games off the bench.
As his minutes increased, so did his leadership.
"It developed tremendously," said Leon Powe. "As he started gaining more confidence and getting more minutes, coach started to put him in a little bit more, started to trust him a little bit more. Stuff started to click and you could see he had the characteristics of running the team.
"He knew where everybody was supposed to be at once, and I was like, 'That's amazing for a young player.' He knew how to talk to everybody. If somebody was getting mad in a game and getting hot, he calmed them down. Just point guard stuff that's really nice for a young player."
Scalabrine says Rondo's intelligence made him a great leader early on -- "He's probably our smartest basketball player. He has like a photographic memory. Once he sees something one time, that's it. He knows all the plays," he said -- while Tony Allen says it was team-first attitude.
"He's a 100 percent team player," said Allen. "He always tries to get his guys involved first and whenever he feels like he wants to take that turn or when he wants to score, passing, he just picks his poison whenever he wants to let it out."
Three seasons ago, Rondo's teammates first recognized a young rookie's potential. Now they cannot say enough about the player who has become the leader of a veteran team at just 24 years old.
"I think right now, he's the best player on our team," Perkins said. "Without Rondo, nothing goes. Pretty much we've got to play him the whole game because he just runs the whole team. Without him, we'd be dead."
Said Scalabrine, "He was special from the first day he was here and he's gotten better at that every day. He has special qualities that no matter what, you can't teach. I can't believe people overlooked that, but they did, so it's fortunate for us that we have him. But his level of basketball is just different. He's like a star. He's not just a role player or a point guard, like most people thought he was."
For those who thought the point guard from Kentucky would never make an impact because of his jumper, he has been scoring at will during the Eastern Conference semifinals. He is averaging more than 20 points per game and shooting nearly 53 percent from the floor. (He has even knocked down the occasional 3-pointer.) Rondo's performance on both ends of the court has been so strong it prompted a cheer traditionally chanted for his veteran teammates.
"He's grown leaps and bounds," Pierce said. "He's showing that he's an All-Star. But the more and more he performs at this level, he's going to show that he's going to be a perennial All-Star, which is the next level, and then hopefully maybe an MVP candidate. You heard how they were chanting 'M-V-P,' so if he can sustain that type of play throughout a whole NBA season, you never know."
Four years after being drafted by the Celtics, the player Rivers once thought had "no chance" has given the Celtics a chance at postseason success.
"I don't know if I'm surprised. I can say I'm happy more than surprised," Rivers said. "I knew he'd get there, I didn't know how long it would take."
If the Celtics have it their way, it will take less than seven games.

After joking around with Graig Murphy, who challenges Christian to a stand-up comedy showdown, Glenn and Christian face Lou about the rumors in the Boston Globe that Lou should be the new play-by-play broadcaster for the Red Sox radio broadcast.
Jeb Bush had an interview recently where he was asked if he ever smoked weed with Bill Belichick and Ernie Adams, who were all classmates in high school. Also, Christian tries to prank call Dallas restaurants and fails miserably.
The Colts and Texans had another pathetic game on Thursday Night Football where Ryan Mallet took himself out of the game and Matt Hasselbeck filled in for an injured Andrew Luck. The guys give their reaction and can't believe anyone could pull themselves out of a game the way Mallet did.
